Protecting Our Core Human Values: ABM's Unlawful Harassment Policy

There is solid foundation at ABM, and it consists of these core human values:
 

Respect, Fairness, and Dignity.

Respect.  ABM is pledged to providing all team members with a work environment that is free from any form of discrimination, including unlawful harassment.  But “respect” at ABM is more than just a value, …it is a process.  We back our pledge with employee and supervisory training, as well as with policy directives and guidelines, including the following affirmative measures:

• Each new employee is provided with ABM’s Unlawful Harassment Policy and receives training about unlawful harassment.
• Written policies against harassment are posted in each of our Branch, Regional and Corporate offices and distributed to each employee annually.
• Employees with supervisory responsibilities are required to attend mandatory unlawful harassment training annually.

In addition, ABM’s Human Resources Representatives and Branch Managers are trained to investigate and resolve complaints under the direction of ABM’s Employment Law Unit.
 
Fairness.  ABM takes fairness seriously.  We will not tolerate harassment of--or harassment by--applicants, team members, clients, vendors or the general public.  In addition, we forbid retaliation against any such team member or entity who reports unlawful harassment, files a complaint, or participates in an investigation.  ABM Human Resources Representatives are trained in thorough, fair and confidential investigative techniques, and proceed with the utmost respect for all parties involved.  To facilitate the early discovery of potential issues, ABM has established a Corporate Accountability Hotline for employees to report incidents of possible fraud, theft, or misconduct, as well as potential discriminatory, harassing or retaliatory conduct in the workplace.

Dignity.  Our team members take pride in sharing the responsibility for promoting a workplace free of unlawful harassment and promptly reporting incidents of harassment.  The ABM commitment does not end here; rather, this is where it all begins!
